Pre-Appointment Instructions

Microblading and Microshading are semi-permanent makeup applications that partially fill in an eyebrow that has sparse hair growth, or fully recreate an eyebrow for those who have little to no brow hair. Microblading is the manual process of implanting pigments by a blade using hair-like stokes. Microshading uses a hand-held machine to create repetitive tiny dots of pigment using the stippling method. Both techniques can be combined to create “combo” brows.

WHAT TO EXPECT DURING PROCEDURE?

Please come to your appointment with your daily makeup look on. This will help the artist determine your desired look.

Prior to procedure the technician will draw, shape & outline the eyebrows until client is satisfied. This is called the pre-drawing period and can take 30-45 minutes. Only hairs around the outlined shape will be shaved off.

Numbing is applied for 20-30 minutes before actual procedure. Pain is usually minimal, but everyone is different and will depend on each individual’s tolerance.

Tattoo procedure takes about 2 hours. The technician applies a topical anesthetic several times in between
